Washington air disaster was “preventable” says US government | BBC News
The US Transport Secretary has said the crash between a helicopter and passenger jet approaching Washington DC was “absolutely preventable”.
The plane was carrying 64 passengers and crew when it crashed into the Potomac River after the collision, along with the military helicopter. The helicopter had three people on board, who were labelled a “fairly experienced crew” by US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Figure skaters from the US and Russia were among passengers on the aeroplane, according to officials from US Figure Skating and a club in Boston.
Authorities searching the freezing waters of the Pototomac say there are no survivors and they are conducting a recovery operation.

Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigner Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to collusion with foreign entities, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison under Beijing’s sweeping National Security Law (NSL).
The 29-year-old, who has become the poster child for political activism in Hong Kong, is already serving a sentence of four years and eight months after being convicted of subversion – another NSL violation – in late 2024.
The court said Wong would be sentenced at a later date. His earlier jail term is due to end early next year.
Wong was at the forefront of the Umbrella Movement in 2014 and massive pro-democracy protests in 2019.
The latest charge accuses Wong of conspiring with other campaigners, including exiled activist Nathan Law, to ask foreign countries and entities outside China to impose sanctions or blockades against Beijing.

Iran and the US have traded strikes after American forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
The US strike is the first known attack on Iran since President Donald Trump paused a renewed military campaign in late July.
Iran said it had struck US military bases in Jordan in response, with Jordan’s army saying it had intercepted eight missiles early on Monday morning.
Iran’s state TV also said the Iranian army had targeted an air base in the UAE with drones, however, the UAE’s Ministry of Defence denied the reports that Al-Minhad Air Base had been targeted as “unfounded”. The UAE did confirm it shot down a drone.
